Chapter 97: Mutation of the Ruins: Crisis Emerges



After resting, the expedition team led by Mou Xuan gathered again, heading directly for the mysterious ruins.

The last exploration experience lingers in the team members’ minds as if it happened yesterday.

Looking at the familiar yet strange entrance in front of him, the explorer couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Oh my god, the last time I came here it was still a fresh style, why does it feel like I've entered a horror movie set this time?"

Scientist Zhuo pushed up his glasses, with a hint of excitement in his tone, "Maybe it's a structural change caused by geological activity. This phenomenon is very common after the end of the world."

Hunter Zhong held his hunting rifle and looked around sharply, "In short, everyone should be alert and it is better to be safe than sorry."

Navigator Fu tightly grasped the navigation device in his hand, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he muttered softly: "I hope there won't be any accidents this time. My little heart can't take it."

Mechanic Li looked eager to try. He picked up the toolbox in his hand and said, "Don't worry. With me here, any mechanical problem will be no problem!"

"Okay, brothers, let's go!" Mou Xuan gave an order and the expedition team filed in.

However, when they stepped into the ruins, the scene before them made everyone gasp.

The familiar passage disappeared, replaced by a maze-like space, crisscrossing, deep and dark.

Scientist Zhuo tried to find the route based on his previous memory, but found that it didn't match at all, as if he had entered a completely new scene.

"This...how is this possible?" Scientist Zhuo's tone was filled with disbelief. He walked back and forth, carefully observing the surrounding walls, hoping to find a clue.

Navigator Fu's face turned pale, and his voice was trembling. "My...my navigation device is also out of order. This place...is so weird!"

A depressing atmosphere began to spread in the team, as if they were in a huge cage, unable to find a way out, which made people feel desperate.

There was also a hint of solemnity in Hunter Zhong's eyes. He pointed the muzzle of his gun at the unknown darkness ahead, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

"Don't panic, stay calm!" Mou Xuan's voice was steady and powerful, like a shot of adrenaline, which made the team members feel a little more at ease.

He looked around with a sharp gaze, "Master Zhuo, don't worry, let me try."

At this moment, Mou Xuan suddenly raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, and then cast his gaze into the deeper darkness.

Mou Xuan ignored Scientist Zhuo's anxious calls and walked straight towards a deep passage.

This action made the team members look at each other in confusion, and the deputy navigator was so scared that he trembled and almost threw away the navigator.

"Oh my god, is the boss going to go solo? What should we do?" Ban Explorer scratched his head, looking confused.

Hunter Zhong looked around vigilantly, holding the shotgun tighter in his hand, "Follow us, don't fall behind! The boss must have his own ideas."

The passage was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The air was filled with a stale smell, like an ancient tomb that had been sealed for a thousand years.

Mou Xuan walked steadily, as if he knew everything here.

He stopped from time to time and touched the patterns on the wall with his hands, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, he stopped in front of an inconspicuous stone slab, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Found it."

He just turned his wrist and an antique pocket watch appeared in his hand.

This pocket watch is not an ordinary timekeeping tool, but a carrier of his time ability.

As he manipulated his supernatural powers, the hands on the pocket watch began to spin wildly, making a buzzing sound.

The air around seemed to solidify, and a strange energy wave emanated from the pocket watch, enveloping the entire passage.

With a light "click" sound, the stone slab slowly sank, revealing a hidden mechanism.

The mechanism was covered with complicated symbols and was flashing a faint blue light. One could tell at a glance that it was not something to be trifled with.

Upon seeing this, Scientist Zhuo quickly stepped forward to check, "This is... an ancient energy rune! There are actually some things like this that have been preserved!"

Mou Xuan ignored his surprise, but placed his hand on the rune and activated his supernatural power again.

The light of the rune became brighter and brighter, and finally converged into a beam of light, shooting towards the end of the passage.

After a loud rumbling sound, a huge stone door slowly opened, revealing a magnificent secret room.

The secret room is filled with all kinds of strange devices, flashing colorful lights, like an exhibition hall of future technology.

The team members were dazzled and amazed.

"Fuck! What kind of treasures are these?" The explorer couldn't help but exclaimed.

Mechanic Li's eyes lit up, and he wanted to rush up and tear these devices to pieces.

"It's really developed! This is simply a treasure trove of technology!"

Mou Xuan looked at the scene in front of him, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that these things would be a great help in his survival in the apocalypse.

"Boss, you must be the biological son of this relic, right? Otherwise, how can you find the mechanism so accurately every time?" The explorer smiled in a sly way, and his words caused the team members to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere instantly became a lot more relaxed.

"That's right, Boss, did you secretly turn on the perspective cheat?" Navigator Fu also joined in the fun, his nervousness swept away, with a look of relief on his face as if he had survived a disaster.

"Tsk tsk, this destined fate is really enviable!" Scientist Zhuo also joined the teasing team with a mischievous smile on his face.

The team members chatted with each other, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread among them, making Mou Xuan's ears slightly red. He coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Stop it, be careful, it's not that simple here."
